mystery holes

[baysdrum]

Anybody got any ideas what these holes were for?
On the drivers side (LHD) rear, on 1968 import.

i reckon some sort of sign - if you have a micro bus itr might of been about loading :?:

 

[baysdrum]

Could be, what do you mean by "loading" - max. no. of people?

 

[surfbus]

Nothing on the inside?

 

[baysdrum]

dunno surfbus I will have a look next time I am in it and see.

Ive seen vans that had a dummy air scoop attached here. Might have been the in thing at one time?

 

[baysdrum]

Thats a possibility, its in about the right place isn' it?

 

[Loxy]

I have seen oil coolers fitted in scoops there, but there doesnt appear to be any holes for the pipes so probably not that.

may be a roof ladder, home made jobbie?

If it was used by a school or youth club in the states it could have had a flip out Stop sign like you have on school busses.

 

[uber cool]

The splits had vents here, So maybe at one time it was though to look cool to have a dummy vent here? Ive seen a photo recently of a bay with one fitted, cant find it now.

sort of like this, but a bit more professional, which would be hard :roll:

I would have guessed an oil cooler, inside the engine bay?

 

[Araon]

WHS^^^^

 

[faux]

Yep, an external oil cooler.....popular in the states. Mine had one fitted at some time in its life, there was also a small cut in the tinware to allow the hose in.
